i know many of you have been waiting for these to make a reappearance and have 'pinned' our accordian folder project on your Pinterest boards--here is a direct link to the metal tab folders to get you started.

We recently added 100+ NEW items to the website--everything from vintage ledger pages to tags, boxes of European number trim, sequin assortments, metal clips + golden mushrooms (our personal favorite).

We also have a special little gift for you........

orders that total $25 before shipping/taxes will include a free pinback button.

these were made with an assortment of beautiful vintage papers--no two alike--especially for you.

Free Gift Available until June 23

every increment of 25 dollars = a free button with your order!

pin these to your inspiration boards or use in place of a bow of a special gift, or pin them onto your favorite cardigan or satchel.

(no special code is needed, you will see this automatically added to your shopping cart at the check-out)

we LOVE these pliable deco metal letters. punch a tiny hole (a 1/8" hand held hole punch is perfect for this) in the letters + string them onto your special packages, add them to small tags + cards or simply add them around the neck of a bottle of wine (or homemade lemonade) for an elegant host gift.

vintage pen nibs are wonderful to add to a card or mounted inside a special small frame or shadow box with a favorite quote (thick luscious water color paper is perfect).

i was especially excited about this issue (and yes, i know i say that EVERY TIME)

BUT, this issue is different.

(there is another 2 page spread once you flip the page)

for a while (i think, since issue 3 or 4) Janine has been gently asking to include Papier Valise in an issue. i kept talking myself out of it because i thought i couldn't possibly showcase the massive amounts of paper items (+ other geegaws) in a way for UPPERCASE readers to enjoy. the glamorous side of things is all of the paper. and the geegaws. the unglamorous side of things is also where all of this paper is stored. and the geegaws.

Last fall Janine mentioned that Issue 12 would be " the paper issue". and so it was that i could no longer resist.

it was on a lovely grey November afternoon that Janine stopped by to photograph the paper stash. we spent an enjoyable few hours chatting about paper loves and interests. and i am so pleased with how everything looks in the magazine.

it is a very tactile experience to hold an issue of UPPERCASE in your hands--first you have to look at the spine and see what the color pattern is this time around. nevermind that irresistable wrap around red label with the issue number within. then you have to fan open the pages to get a whiff of that "hot off the press" smell. then you might find yourself caressing the front cover, because the paper UPPERCASE is printed on is wonderful--a thick, luscious high quality paper.

if you love paper THIS is the issue for you. without a doubt. there is an array of wonderful paper enthusiasts--from artists (origami and otherwise), paper purveyors, even paper reps. so many interesting folks.
